ALL GAY NEWS?: Fox News Anchor Declares War On Outers

Gawker claims the popular Fox News anchor was "silenced and punished" after approaching CEO Roger Ailes last summer about going public about his homosexuality.

But now Ailes and Smith are firing back, calling the story "100 percent false and a complete fabrication."

"As colleagues and close friends at Fox News for 18 years, our relationship has always been rooted in a mutual respect, deep admiration, loyalty, trust, and full support both professionally and personally," they wrote in a joint statement.
